Flag Day is observed in Estonia every June 4, commemorating the first consecration of the Estonian flag in 1884. The flag, created in 1881 by the constituent Assembly of the first Estonian national student Corporation Vironia in Tartu, features blue, black, and white colors. The blue symbolizes the sky, sea, truth, and freedom; black represents the soil and lost independence; while white signifies a promise for a brighter future. The flag gained significant national importance following Estonia's Declaration of Independence in 1918. Celebrations typically involve honoring the flag's symbolism and its historical significance to the Estonian people.
